HOW TO GET THINGS DONE

For portal-based products, many service needs can be easily and immediately taken care of from your Broker Portal account.

For products that aren't available via the portal, you'll find instructions in the sections below that let you know what to do and how to do it.

Access Documents

Through the Broker Portal, you can access documents associated to your portal-based policies with Distinguished. Just go to your portal account dashboard and click on "All Documents". You'll be able to access:

  • Policies
  • Invoices
  • Quotes
  • Completed Applications
  • Cancellation Notices
  • Rescission Notices

For products not on the portal, please reach out to your Underwriter or Sales Executive.

Endorsement Requests

You'll be able to get certain endorsement types for portal-based products processed instantly from your Broker Portal account. If an endorsement needs to be reviewed, it will be expedited through the system.

For products not on the portal, reach out to your Underwriter or Sales Executive.

BROKERAGE MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

Fill out the Brokerage Merger/Acquisition Form and send to Compliance@Distinguished.com with the supporting documents listed in the form.

A Brokerage Merger/Acquisition Form is applicable only when it involves the acquisition of an existing book of business placed through Distinguished.

If the acquiring brokerage firm is not currently registered with us, you will need to complete the registration process and execute our Retail Brokerage Agreement. 

For more questions about Brokerage Mergers and Acquisitions, please see our FAQ section below, or contact our compliance department at Compliance@Distinguished.com.

ADDING A BRANCH OFFICE - FOR REGISTERED BROKERGES ONLY

Fill out the Manual Branch Office Registration Form and submit the form with a copy of the branch office’s insurance license to Compliance@Distinguished.com.

A Branch Office is considered another location from which operations are conducted under the same legal entity name and Tax ID/FEIN as a registered entity/location. In addition, the Branch Office has a valid Retail Brokerage Agreement (RBA) on file with us. One RBA shall suffice for all branch offices.

For more questions about Branch Offices, please contact the Sales Representative for your territory. 

Pay Online

Pay your bill online with an ACH transfer. On your invoice, you'll find a link to process your payment online.

For portal-based products, you'll find invoices in your Broker Portal account "All Documents" section. Use this guide in case you have more questions.
